Emoji Embroidery Project

Introduction

See also: Emoji Embroidery Project (en français)

Prototyping on old sweaters

The Emoji Embroidery Project aims to create a capability to create emoji embroideries.

So far, documentation only exists in french (in the sister wiki) It includes:

A database of digitized emoji, reusable for non-commercial purposes (expanding, yet to be documented): fr:Liste des emojis à broder

Tutorials on how to use them (to be done)
Tutorials on how to create your own scans from "free" emoji font designs: fr:InkStitch - broder un emoji and fr:Stitch Era - broder un emoji
Activities such as the fr:atelier upcycling avec des broderies émoji
Educational material that makes use of emoji designs, for example the fr:Cours d'initiation à la broderie numérique (FacLab UniGE) course.
A technical and conceptual introduction to fr:Emoji (to be refined).

Objectives:

To bring embroidery to a wider audience.
To contribute to sustainability (by showing an easy path to upcycling)
Contribute to digital embroidery education (emoji are relatively easy objects to digitise)
Spreading the idea that digital embroidery is an interesting medium to develop digital skills, making skills and some soft skills.

This project is led by Daniel K. Schneider (FacLab Université de Genève and Arbores Tech SARL) and I hope to recruit others. It is supported by the FacLab University of Geneva and its infrastructure.
